the daily beast, npr, and wrote a book about abolishing the electoral college. >> donald trump likes to say oh, i'm being victimized. i have never been -- nobody has ever been treated this badly. and i think it's important for us to keep in mind and not forget while he is saying all these things that, in fact, the system is operating as intended. he is getting exactly the guarantees that the constitution affords to all criminal defendants. he may be acquitted. he may be convicted. but, he's ending up getting all the quarantines that the constitution offers. >> laura: yeah. if the constitution didn't include the first amendment that is threatening to put the president in jail if he speaks uncharitably about the process that's fair, jesse? not to those of us imagine if

some conservative d.a. in, i don't know, mobile, alabama had decided to indict biden for violating some corrupt business practice's statute for all the shenanigans he and hunter were involved n china and so forth and then the judge in the case was a g.o.p. appointee and the judge's daughter or son was a big consultant or fundraiser for trump? then imagine that this judge issued a gag order printing biden from speaking out about what is an obvious conflict or at least apparent conflict of interest. now, would the left sit there and say oh, gee, this is all taking place in good faith and the jury system is working just fine? certainly the "new york times" wouldn't be writing that. no. they would be complaining that alabama is a deep, red state that doesn't respect women's rights and they would also say that biden can't get a fair trial there. now, look at what they're saying by the way about judge aileen

cannon in florida. >> i'm having a hard time defending judge cannon's actions. not just because it's against trump. but here's somebody who has already been humiliated by the 11th circuit. like one of the most conservative circuits in america. and i just got to say her rulings are just mind boggling. i don't understand them. >> laura: now she is literally by the way done nothing to have her integrity or impartiality questioned it doesn't matter. the left wants trump in jail they will object to anyone who stands in their way. this is why for 250 years america didn't put its presidents on trial. because we knew we would make the country look ridiculous in the eyes of the country and the entire world. now we are seeing it is further eroding trust in the judicial process that was already at the bottom of the barrel. frankly trust in the entire system we have never forget

bragg's indictment against trump is farcical. remember, he accused trump of making payments to cover up a felony that the d.a. bragg didn't charge him with because he can't this alleged campaign finance violation federal issue. the fec passed on the trump case years ago. come see the amazing alvin. bragg is a magician but a bad one. he was trying to pull a rabbit out of a vizor, abracadabra now watch him make the constitution disappear. during oral arguments at the supreme court yesterday justice neil gorsuch spoke about the dual standards of justice. specifically referencing how left wing protesters seem to always get away with it.

never being charged like the j-6ers for disrupt ago congressional proceeding. >> would a sit-in that disrupts a trial or access to a federal courthouse qualify would a heckler at today's audience qualify or at the state of the union address. would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify? for 20 years in federal prison? >> laura: well, we all know the answer, don't we? no, because congressman jamal brown, who pulled that fire alarm when the house was in session, was charged with a nothing burger misdemeanor by the d.c. attorney's office. yeah. that's justice voters need to understand that the legal assault against donald trump in new york and georgia and in d.c. it will become a regular part of american politics unless, unless democrats are made to suffer at the polls. until then, if you're a conservative or some type of

traditionalist, you dare to stand up for the middle class or donate to someone who is and you stand against the washington swamp. the deep state, the doj, federal agencies, state ags and city d.a.s will ignore ethical rules, they will contort the meaning of any law or even makeup laws to come after you. and that's the angle. joining me now is david schoen, former trump impeachment attorney and sol wisenberg fox news contributor and former deputy independent counsel. sol, could trump still get a fair trial in new york if this judge merchan is still presiding over it? >> i think it's going to be difficult for him to get a fair trial in new york irrespective of whether with her chan is presiding because of the overwhelming hostility to trump by members of the jury pool. but, certainly merchan is making

it more difficult. you know, he wasn't chosen by random selection, which i find shocking. he was picked by the chief administrative law judge there supposedly because of his great judicial learning and temperament. but, i understand that, in fact, he is not that good of a judge and that he is very thin skinned and has temperament problems. i heard that from a great lawyer i know by the name of david schoen. >> laura: speaking of, david schoen. david, judge merchan allowed one of the jurors to sit in the case despite obvious political bias. watch this. >> they had things on their social media posts that donald trump and his lawyers found troubling. the juror, juror number one had taken a video at a distance of what looked like a celebration in the streets of new york for a trump loss in 2020. i think that was it. it showed that she was biased

and there was some language that suggested she might have a bias. the judge found in this case in this juror that this juror could continue. >> laura: david? >> listen, he agonized another juror who had horrible social media posts and finally only decided to excuse for cause because she also wrote that trump should be locked up. he seemed to think that was a close call but he did strike her for cause. people residence wondering why the jury selection is moving faster than expected. he is not properly exercising challenge for cause. he is letting people in who clearly have a bias. listen, this judge has no business being on the case. we have said it before. under new york 22 crr, 100.3 e 1 d 3. it's mandatory that he recuse himself. it says a judge shall disqualify himself if he has a relative to the sixth degree who has an interest that could be substantially affecting the case. we know the daughter has a

vested interest in the case. we know the judge has an interest in making sure the case isn't dismissed and now to make sure that trump never leaves the courtroom that he sits there every day? we well know that the right to be present at the trial is the defendant's fundamental right under the new york constitution article 1 section 6. under the sixth amendment. it's the right of confrontation of the defendant. the court of appeals of new york has said it can be waived. it's the defendant's right. but he wants to make sure he is not out there campaigning. >> laura: on the campaign trail, yeah. >> laura: whatever happens, don't go out and like go harlem and convince a lot of people that this is a total sham. and that they should vote for you because you will stand up for the working people. can't have him do that, sol. but, right now, everyone i think, and back to what i was saying in the angle that i think everyone understands that in our country right now, it seems at least the democrats and liberals have more rights, more leeway, more freedom than a lot of republicans and it's going to be impossible, i think, sol, to

persuade most americans or even non-americans that any trump conviction will mean anything. so, my question, long winded as it is, how corrosive and dangerous is this? >> oh, i think it's very corrosive and i think, in particular, this prosecution, you know, laura despite the wackos that you see on msnbc that we have seen some clips of. there are actually quite a few liberal scholars who are very -- have very much questioned this prosecution. judge sugarman who is a constitutional law professor, i think, at bu has said as much on twitter. randal alive so aeliason very ty this prosecution. keep in mind supposedly what makes this a felony is that trump's attempt to interfere with federal election, the doj,

as you've said many times, not only did the department of justice under bill barr decline to prosecute there is nothing that kept merrick garland's justice department from reviving this case still within the statute of limitations and alvin bragg's predecessor declined and alvin bragg originally declined to prosecute it. >> laura: not going to be a fair trial it never should have been brought in the first place. david, a question i had and i don't think our viewers know the answer to this. there are two lawyers that have been seated in the jury. corporate firm and other civil litigator. that could play both ways, could it not? i don't know much more about them to moo it would seem that trump might want one of those on this jury. it takes one, only takes one person to hang this jury. >> yeah. certainly have to know a lot

more about the juror than we know and that is permitted to be known from the limited voir dire that they're doing. generally, i would have said that's not a juror that i wanted on. i also am not sure how especially the big firm lawyer is going to take off this kind of time from work. but, the bottom line is this jesse wegman you quoted earlier certainly has it wrong. trump's first and sixth amendment rights in addition to the first amendment rights are clearly being violated in this case. he doesn't even know what is he charged with, the target felony is the judge proved that in his denial of the motion to dismiss he said well the government has put forward four different theories and at least three of those are okay. how defend at the same time whether he doctored against the business records to commit a tax crime or for an election crime? it's absolutely absurd. the gag order is absurd. but the judge is trying to cover full circle. i think we as lawyers have an obligation to speak out about this for this country and around the world. you saw this week, maybe, liz truss wrote a column in the "wall street journal" saying the deep state will arise again unless we put a stop to it now.

>> laura: yeah. got to be big, big pain at the polls for the democrats for trying to pull this one. david, and sol, thank you. by the way, in my angle, when i was talking about the dude who pulled the fire alarm, the congressman, i said jamal brown, obviously it's jamaal bowman. coming up, trump celebrated harlem visit has the liberal lawfare radicalized going nuts. i'm going to explain it, next. ♪ fortunately, aspen dental specializes in dentures and implants made just for you. and with flexible financing, you don't need to sacrifice quality work for a price that fits your budget. at $0 down plus 0% interest if paid in full in 18 months. helping our patients put their best smile forward. it's one more way aspen dental is in your corner.

feeling very threatened. he is out of control. and so we do expect him to lash out. >> laura: joining me now victor davis hanson, senior fellow at the hoover institution. victor, i love the split screen, two presidential candidates in deep blue districts but biden has to go you know where it's all controlled. trump goes to harlem, a place where republicans would, you know, traditionally not venture into. what's happening here? >> well, he is very effectively doing this split screen and he's the candidate. he is telling america he is the candidate of normalcy. the return of the normal, democrat additional. and they are the radicals. they are the people who are crazy. and he's not. and these split screen differences remember when he was at the rainy wake of an nypd officer while biden was leveraging 2 # million dollars from movie stars and campaign contributions. and then he hit it again at

chick-fil-a biden had at the white house stars girlfriend glitzy dresses as if they were at the oscars. if he can keep doing that shows you redefining the republican party maybe america middle class people. class starts substitute race. people are identifying more in common with their economic status than they are with their tribal affiliations. so those people you saw in harlem are saying i have more in common with your agenda than i do with oprah or the people -- i have more in common with the people of east palestine than i do with the people on msnbc and if he is able to pull that off, he can win. he is under enormous pressure as you pointed out, laura. they are trying to break him physically, financially. if you can keep h cool and keep appealing to the middle class, can he win. >> laura: victor, i think every day they make him sit in court he should do one of these types of events.

i think he should go to new england. i think he should zip up to new hampshire i would head to massachusetts. go over to new jersey. pop down pennsylvania. i think this could become what the democrats never thought would happen this could become trump's real lee election strategy. standing against the system that wants to break you for the people who support and fund the system. i don't think they know what they have unleashed here with the electorate. you. >> i don't think they understand how angry the middle class is anyway because of what biden has done to the border and the economy. and, again, if trump can campaign in the places that you talked about, to working class whites, mexican americans, latinos, blacks and say we are all in this together, what they are doing to me is what joe biden did to you we're going to rise up as a new republican party. a republican nationalist political party. let the elites on cnn and the

networks news and pbs scream to high heaven we are going to ignore him. i think he can win. i think it's a very successful. you are exactly right. he should be campaigning in all of these nontraditional. >> laura: all 50 states. >> laura: vic door, joy reid taking a victory lap in how this is all being handled, watch. >> the first person to actually criminally prosecute donald trump is a black harvard grad. donald trump is being held to account by the very multicultural, multi racial democracy that he is trying to dismantle. something poetic and wonderful about that. go dei. my deis are bringing it home. >> laura: victor? >> well, she can't finish a sentence. she has shown she can't finish a sentence without playing the racial victimization card. and what she doesn't realize is that blacks make up about 13% of the population. which is great. but, according to her racial

spoil system they don't make up 75% of the prosecutors in america. so when she is saying is he going to be tried by people of color. what she is saying people of color are overrepresented in the judicial system and, according to the logic of wokeness. >> laura: pay back. >> that's not right. >> laura: payback. it's time to get even. victor, great to see you as always. >> you are welcome. thank you. >> laura: you remember how a few weeks ago and days ago the left was indicating that we are going to see this whole series of interest rate cuts. do you remember that how they bragged about how inflation was under control? >> global economic performance has in part been powered by a strong u.s. economy. u.s. g.d.p. growth is strong. and expectations have been revised upwards. inflation has come down significantly since its peak. >> technically it doesn't pan out. biden's pals at axios starting to push a new narrative high interest rates are likely to be

the new biden normal. here is an ominous quote. the recognition that the 2010s would be a period of persist lently low growth did not happen overnight. rather, it was a gradual process of discovery by bond traders and fed policymakers alike. now, this statement is incredibly misleading because as early as 1020 the voters were electing tea party members who complained that the economy wasn't recovering properlied from the end of the housing bubble. and almost every election of the 2010s the voters complained about the economy: the press wanted to help obama. then the press wanted to help hillary so, they would not admit that the economy was not doing as well as it should have. now we are going through it again if we reelect biden wevel a lost decade. come up, anything to get reelected biden is copying trump's policies or pretending to, next.

apparently having spectacularly as president joe biden is trying to play the role of trump on the china issue. >> america's steel work did not work out compete as long as they have fair competition. but for too long the chinese government has poured money into chinese steel company pushing them to make so much steel as much as possible. they are not competing. they are cheating. they are cheating. >> laura: but this is purely performance art. the real truth is that biden is a committed globalist who is spending an open border has devastated working people and only enriched china. now, his treasury secretary janet yellen traveled to beijing recently and threw out a few perfunctory lines warning china to behave. the big picture is that despite

china's covid cover-up, the spy balloon, aggression against taiwan, the entire biden administration is trying to work overtime. >> i underscore again the united states does not seek to decouple from china. our two economies are deeply integrated and a wholesale separation would be disastrous for both of our economies. is. >> laura: please love us, president xi. in a new congressional report just out is revealing that under biden the chinese have directly subsidized the manufacturing and export illicit frent material. no kidding. wait a second. i thought biden was going to get china to stop all of that? as a result of our recent diplomacy, china has already taken steps to shut down companies dealing in illicit trade and precursor criminals. we are not going to trust that this is happening. wowould we have to verify it.

that's going to save lives. >> laura: fentanyl is the leading cause of death for americans ages 18 to 45. but, surely our new populist president from scranton, no less, succe succeeded in pulline critical manufacturers from china didn't he. china is still in the driver's seat in prescription drug manufacturing as well. joining me now gordon chang senior fellow of gay stone. author of "china is going to war." is it feasible or reasonable to conclude that china might have been given a heads up by yellen on that 15% steel tariff and doesn't look like anything but, you know, an election year stunt to this point? it is certainly an election year stunt. biden has been president since january 20 -- you know, 2021. and he has not done anything about tariffs until now when he realizes he is in trouble in michigan and he knows that the

labor rank and file is violating for trump. so he decides to do something. got to remember the contrast. and as soon as trump became president in 2017, he started the process to impose tariffs under section 301 of the trade act of 1974. which he started to do in early 2018, as fast as possible. and i think that labor understands that there is only one guy in this election who really believes in tariffs, who really believes in protecting the american worker. who believes that american factories should have a fair shake. and, by the way, that guy's name is not biden. one thing we know china's protestation to the contrary, they have been taking us to the cleaners for decades. this has been cheered on by the people who sucked up to xi at that big corporate ceo trip to china earlier this month. so, all of these big fortune 500 ceos went to china, big meeting

with xi, and many of them are also biden donors. so is it no wonder that biden is getting all this billionaire money fueling campaign. contrary to the fake biden populist message? >> clearly. we can see where the globalists are going. we can also see the trend of chinese propaganda. in 2020, they supported biden over bernie sanders and the democratic primary. they supported biden over trump in the general. the same thing is happening now, laura. so, it's very clear where china is going to vote. >> laura: yeah. and tiktok. of course we forgot. biden is campaigning on diamond and silk. china's favorite social media platform. gordon, always good to see you. all right, we're also seeing a flood of chinese nationals crossing our border. this is extremely disturbing. so far this fiscal year border patrol has apprehended more chinese illegals than they did in all of fiscal year 2023. i'm sure there is nothing to that.

still six months more to go. now, the vast majority of them, 85% of them, are single adults and most of them are men. joining me now missouri senator eric schmitt. senator, that's only 7,000 percent increase from 2021. what's up here? >> well, that's what i was going to say, laura, it's 7,000 percent increase. i mean, this is insane. but it's the consequence of having an open border, right? they have wanted this. getting exactly what they desired. you have no enforcement. you have chinese nationals now being caught at military installations, potentially spying on, you know, our military. and it's part and parcel of what happens when you have a completely wide open border. and, you know, the democrats don't want to hold them accountable. we had an impeachment, you know, proceeding today in the senate that wasn't a trial. for the first time in senate history, laura, we didn't have a trial. mayorkas was impeached. we didn't have a trial bull dozing our constitutional order. they are not interested in it. they are open borders. they are playings for the census

play in 2030. get as many people here as they can to effect reapportionment. now a total disaster. we have 7,000 percent of chinese nationals crossing the border. >> laura: i have got say it would have been nice if mcconnell had dismissed the ridiculous impeachment of trump when that arrived in the senate. they play for keeps. you know we play to be liked. but, senator, speaking of mayorkas. he addressed this issue of what they are doing with this obviously china sanctioned influx of illegals into the country. watch. >> for the first time, i had an engagement with my counterpart from the people's republic of china, to ensure that china would begin to accept removal flights so so that we can deliver a consequence regime for individuals from the people's republic of china who do not have a legal basis. >> laura: senator, there has been one deportation flight to

china. one tens of thousands of them are in the united states. most of them adult males. my question is what are they doing here and isn't it the case that no chinese national who lives in china is going to be making their way to the united states without china's knowledge? the ccp's knowledge. >> not like leaving st. louis. it's very difficult to get out of the people's republic of china a brutal dictatorial communist regime. so they are coming here and we don't send them back. that's exactly what we should be doing. that's not in the d.n.a. of this administration. we shouldn't trust mayorkas. we certainly shouldn't trust communist china on any negotiation at all. that's not what they do. they will give these folk as court date sometime in the 2030s and hope they show up like the other 9 million people. >> laura: i don't think they hope they show up. i don't think they care if they show up. come, welcome, work for cheap, and then they will welcome hundreds of thousands of millions more. but, moving to the diamond and

silk question according to politico chinese diplomats are in d.c. meeting with hill staffers about the legislation that would force the sale of the app. now, is it true that they don't have to register as foreign agents, the lobbyists for diamond and silk? why is that? >> yeah. that ought to happen. and we ought to make sure that diamond and silk is sold. there's no reason why, again, a communist regime should have the access to the information, key stroke information. they are spying on people's location. they can hear what you are saying. they know what you are doing on other apps. this is china. this makes all the sense in the world. we need to move forward on that legislation. again, i think the democrats are blocking this. and, you know, it's a terrible situation, laura, because diamond and silk, it's like having literally 100 million censors. we would never allow anybody to have that information on 100 million devices on this
